Lego Movie Birthday and Sleepover

So it's time again for another birthday party. When I lived in California John's Incredible Pizza was our place to go. I pay them and they take care of everything. Last year was our first year in Florida and my son had a questionable teacher (as an educator I was appalled by her behavior) but the fact the she "FORGOT" to give out his invitations was not only disappointing but devastating for a kid 3000 miles away from all of his family. So this year we are trying to make up for that and have a small sleepover here at the house. 

My husband keeps calling me a nerd for all of the things that I am coming up with to do and set everything up. Let me not take all the credit. Many ideas came from Pinterest and a few other mommy blogs but I will have links, pictures and downloads from things that I created. Let me first say that all that you see was done for about $150 for EVERYTHING....mommy's on a budget can still have an amazing party. So let's see how we celebrate Eight 8!! 


Let's start........

I got the lego plate at the lego store added clips and yard to hang and welcome our guests!!! 

Once our guests arrived they were able to take a picture at a in front of our lego wall. The lego wall was made from table cloths and plastic colored plates. 

The Birthday Boy being a little goofy before everybody arrives.

 Decor can also be games too. Our first game was located as our friends came in. We had "How many legos are in the jar?" 

I used different sized legos and used a food tent for the the questions.

 
 The boys all had a blast writing and guessing how many were in the jar. The kid who was closest got a prize from the prize jar.

 

 

 

 

 

Food Table

 It was a Lego Movie Party so we ended up watching the movie to close out the the night so we had different kinds of popcorn and goodies for the whole party.

Pop corn containers for each kid and juice of course.

Gotta have movie candy

Cupcakes with "lego blocks" on top Homemade

I usually order and amazing cake from Kay Lady Cakes (Check them out on Facebook if you live in California) but we moved to Florida so I had to DIY on my own. 

These guys were pretty simple and a huge hit. I had never worked with candy melts before but it was super simple. I used a food marker to add the faces!

Pretzels are always loved by kids add candy melts and sprinkles and you are good to go. They have every color imaginable. Again a huge hit and my first time working with candy melts. 

Rainbow Jello!!!! Not the best picture but it's layered red, blue and orange (I didn't want any yucky flavors) Leave time for them to fully set before adding next layer would be my only advice. 

The kids loved the veggies and fruit. They ate it with their pizza. I let them each make their own pizza slices.

The goody bag had large dots to make them look like legos. The large number 8 I had from when I took my son to take his birthday pictures. The large blue box was out prize box. 

I should have gotten a better picture of the lego decor on the wall. I made them myself and printed them on different color card stock.













The kids had a blast. We did the lego guessing game. Then the colored a lego man. i got to be the judge of who was the best, the did a lego birthday maze and and then the decorated lego heads and played pin the head on the lego man....that was lots of fun. 

They loved the coloring and the mazes. I had them inside of their lego bags. 

They decorated their own lego heads and we took a picture in front of the lego wall before "pinning" the heads on the lego man. 

Each one of the kids had a baggy of legos and had to "construct" their own cars. 

Getting a tub of parts at the lego store was way cheaper then buying the cars at a store. And the boys had fun picking out the different parts. 





They raced them down a track I made of poster board and duck tape (checkered and red) 

After all of the games they made their pizza, fruit and veggies. We sang happy birthday and then it was movie time. We had three different kinds of popcorn: Caramel, Butter and Cheddar. Each kid had their own popcorn bucket and filled it up. I moved some of the goodies near the TV and the kids really enjoyed the movie. 

My son says it was his best birthday ever. I consider it a SUPER success and an AWESOME party. 


All of the printables that I used are going to be in my next post!!
